Buratai Leads Onslaught Against Boko Haram …Relocates To Maiduguri

In a desperate bid to defeat the insurgents, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt Gen TY Buratai has relocated fully to the North East to oversee and direct the overall operation in the theatre and other Nigerian Army operations across the country.

Addressing troops of Special Super Camp Ngamdu in Kaga Local Government Area of Borno State, Gen Buratai said that he would be with the troops to the nooks and crannies of the theatre.

Already, the COAS has begun operational tour to troops’ locations in the North East Theatre of Operation since on the 4th of April, 2020.

It was learnt that during the tour, he was at the Army Super Camp 1 at Mulai and the Special Forces Super Camp 12 at Chabbol near Maiduguri where he interacted with the officers and addressed the troops respectively.

In addition, the COAS was at the Forward Operations Base at Alau Dam, where he personally led the troops on patrol round Mairimari and Maigilari Forests.

However, the Nigerian Army has again reassured Nigerians that it is highly committed to protecting every law abiding citizen and defending our territorial integrity.

The army spokesperson, Col Musa Sagir reiterated in a statement in Abuja that there is no any form of insecurity that cannot be surmounted, noting that Boko Haram/ISWAP’s terrorism would be dealt with with the passage of time.
